Cranberry Almond Chicken (12.19.12)

By Jennifer Burns, Dan’s Market

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 cup butter

1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

1 cup water

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel

1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Salt and Pepper, to taste

Flatten chicken to ¼ inch thickness. In a large re-sealable bag, combine the flour, garlic and onion powder, cayenne, salt and pepper; add chicken, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. In a large skillet, brown chicken in butter over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.

In the same skillet, combine the cranberries, water, brown sugar, vinegar and orange peel. Bring to a boil; cook for 10 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Spoon over chicken; sprinkle with almonds.
